ee AFRICAN CETONIID.2. 
The fore legs in the unique male of this species in Mr. Hope’s collection are shorter than in 
Tm. simillima, with the tibize slightly indicating the existence of two teeth in addition to the 
apical one, which is separated from the next by a deep incision. The middle tibize are straight, 
but the hind ones are slightly bent at the middle, with a minute tooth on the outer edge. The 
maxilla have the inner lobe terminated by a short black horny point. The elytra are not 
spinous at the extremity of the suture. Fig. 2a, maxilla; 26, extremity of the anterior 
tibie ; 2c, ungues.

Weare acquainted only with the female of this species, which may at once be known from 
the preceding by its splendid golden green colour, larger size, and by the prothorax having the 
sides entirely margined almost to the hinder angles. The colour of the feet is also different.

The unique male of this species in the British Museum is of a narrower form, and the legs 
are longer than in Tm. amabilis. The anterior tibize are slender, with the outer margin not 
dentate, but terminating in an apical spine, being rather narrowed beyond the middle, and their 
inner margin is hairy. The middle tibiw are unarmed on the outside, but slightly hairy on 
the inner margin at the apex; and the hind tibie are straight, with a minute central tooth on 
the outside. The suture of the elytra terminates in two short spines ; the mando of the maxilla 
is unarmed. 
The extraordinary plant represented in the plate is the Angraeeeum 
caudatum of Lindley, one of the Orchidacez, at once distinguished 
by the singular elongation of its spur, which Dr. L. informs me 
sometimes reaches a foot in length. It is a native of western 
tropical Africa.
